Arlo Guthrie
– Alices Restaurant tab ver. 2

------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ALICE'S RESTAURANT - Arlo Guthrie-------------------------------------------------------------------------------Tabbed by: Michael KressE-mail: micalk@sbcglobal.netI modeled this tab after Arlo's live performance at the 2005 Farm Aid (on YouTube). Thisis the mainpart of it, the part most people are interested in, and I couldn't find one that matchedit. I'lllet others be the judge of its accuracy, but I was very picky about about watching his performanceand listening to the notes. The only part that is questionable is the first two measuresof the thirdriff - these are hard to hear in the performance, but the Alice's Restaurant albumreleased in the'90s is very similar and I got a good read off of that.On the slide, bar your finger across the first four strings and hold it so you catch thenext note onthe fourth string that comes along. The only real chord shape in here is a C, but it'svery brief,comes and goes, so I didn't note it. Watch the Farm Aid concert for the chord shapes and changes.The other playing tip is that the thumb plays 4, 5 and 6 strings as you'd expect, andthey are all standard quarter notes, so this is the bass/rhythm line. When I was figuringout this tab I worked out the bass line first, then the rest of it. Might help you to do the same to learn it.Would love feedback on it, especially the third riff if you think Arlo does it differently.Standard E Tuning, Capo on II
